BELT-CUTTING MQCHINE.

- Specification of Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HUGO GnNzE, EMIL G'ACK, and ROBERT Grifox, subjects of the German Emperor, and residing at Gross Auheim-on-the-Vlain, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Belt-Cutting Machines, of which the-following is a specification.

Our invention relates to a belt-cutting machine in which the material to be cut is fed by, a feed device to rotating cutter disks.

The novel feature of the invention is that the feed r011 coacting with the cutter disks is arranged to rock on the cutter-disk shaft and is held pressed against the pressure member by a spring. Owing to this arrangement, and in contradistinction to 'known similar machines, the machine can be made short and nevertheless have fed to its cutter disks leather of various thicknesses which is completely out by the same.

One illustrative embodiment of our invention is represented byway of example in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is an end elevation and Fig. 2 a side elevation of the machine.

Referring to the drawing, the leather to be cut is brought over the table 1' to thefeed roll 6 which is journaled in a frame a,

1 the latter being carried by means of arms Z and m rocking about theshaft c carrying the cutter disks, and being under the action Patented Mar. 26, 1912.

of a spring a. The feed roll Q is driven 1 through the medium of spur gears p and g by the shaft 0 and is pressed by the spring u against the pressing member or block 10. The pressure of the spring requires to be only slight. All kinds of leather, even imitation leather, can be cut by the machine.

A more powerful feedcan be obtained by arranging the rear table .9 inclined\ relatively to the top of the feed table rgwhereby a greater area of application fori the roll 0 is obtained. 1

We claim In a belt-cutting machlne, tne combination, with a frame, a shaft journaled therein, and cutter disks fast on the shaft, of a second frame mounted to rock about the said shaft, a pressin member secured to the former frame, a eed roll journaled in the second frame, and a spring tending to rock the second frame and press the feed r01] against the said pressing member.
